What are some theories about what could have happened to the Olmec civilization Explain the mystery?
The Olmecs mysteriously disappeared some 1,000 years after their civilization began. There are many theories of what could have happened to the Olmecs. Perhaps warfare caused the demise and destruction of the Olmec people. Others say that Olmec city life attracted many people but the farming could not produce enough food to feed all the people. This lack of food could have wiped out the population. Yet other scholars believe that the Olmec people simply blended in with other civilizations. Their culture spread throughout much of Mesoamerica, so perhaps they simply went to other civilizations that were more economically sound. Archeologists simply do not know what happened to the Olmec people, but they are certain that their traditions and ways spread throughout Mesoamerica. In addition, archeologists are sure that the Olmecs were the "mother" of all Mesoamerican civilizations.
